Homemade sauces and pickles add character, particularly to the meat sandwiches and Mexican-style options.
The falafel is a worthwhile vegetarian option, with one customer saying it reminded them of Jordan.
The fries and potato fritters get attention for their distinctive seasoning, including a customer-described secret seasoning.
Reviews consistently describe the team as warm and helpful, including guidance for first-time visitors choosing between sandwiches.
There is a small private, air-conditioned seating area, so visitors are not limited to eating in their cars.

“I tried the beef shawarma in pita bread, the taste was good "nothing special" however charging 41 dirham for a medium size pita is very over priced in my opinion and it wasn't loaded with beef as they told me, so that means you need to order another one.”

“Great shawarma take! I mean who doesnt like a good shawarma, but they took a twist to it and made it even better - if you can believe it. The pita bread is a great idea. We had the chicken and meat originals and they were both super yummy! The quality of their protein is great. We will come back for their other takes on the shawarma - mexican and whatnot. They have a little AC-ed sitting area in case you dont have a car - but its small so you might have to wait.”

Choose Format. Ask for either pita or saj, and decide whether you want the salad on top of the meat or mixed through the sandwich.
Go Early. If you are visiting for a specific dish, arrive early: one review says the truck runs from 7 pm until it sells out.
Expect A Wait. The air-conditioned seating is small, so takeaway may be easier during busy periods or you may need to wait for a table.
Try Fries. Add the fries or potato fritters if you like seasoned sides; customers repeatedly call out the special seasoning.
Watch Portions. Budget for a higher-priced meal and check the portion size when ordering, as one customer felt a medium pita was not loaded enough.
Balance Garlic. If you are sensitive to strong garlic, consider requesting the sauce separately; a review specifically found it too garlicky.
Plan the visit
Several customers considered the shawarma expensive, with one reporting 41 dirham for a medium beef pita and finding the portion insufficient.
The air-conditioned dining area is limited, and one review warns that you may have to wait for a seat.
The garlic sauce was too strong for one customer, although the chicken shawarma itself was considered tasty.
One customer found the chicken less impressive than the meat shawarma.
The Bottom Line
Mitzumami is a shawarma restaurant in Al Barsha South built around a more playful take on the familiar wrap. You can order meat or chicken in pita or saj, with options such as the Dallas, Latinomami and Mexican shawarmas. The strongest theme in the reviews is juicy, well-seasoned meat, supported by fresh toppings, house-made sauces and freshly baked bread.
The menu has a few useful extras rather than an endless catalogue. Mitzu Fries are repeatedly praised for their special seasoning, while the Mitzu falafel gives vegetarians a more substantial option. For dessert, customers mention Rahtzu ice cream and pistachio ice cream with crunchy kunafa.
The small air-conditioned family seating area is a welcome alternative to eating in the car, though it can fill up. This is not positioned as a budget shawarma stop. Several reviewers felt the prices were high, including one who reported paying 41 dirham for a medium beef pita and still finding the portion light.
Garlic sauce may also be intense for some tastes. If you want a particular sandwich, arriving earlier is sensible: one reviewer said the food runs from 7 pm until it sells out.
